Reader's Blog: March brings the dividing lines into focus

‘Leaving EU, Walking’ was a project that took place on March 13. It reflected on faultlines: the civil rights marches of Selma to Montgomery (Alabama, USA) March 1965; Derry on October 5, 1968, and events at Burntollet Bridge on January 4, 1969. It involved walking from Bridgend, Donegal, to Free Derry Corner and back again before Brexit (March 29 or whatever that date might be in the not too distant future), while it was still possible to be, North and South, a citizen of the European Union.

After Brexit the Republic of Ireland will be in a changed EU and Northern Ireland will be in a different economic and political zone — where, we don’t know yet.
